We had a whole stack of wood given to us so everyone was outside trying to prepare the wood for next winter's fires. This year we kind of winged it with little bits of wood from here and there.  We made it thought the winter which I didn't think was so bad looking back on it. I was really worried we would like freeze or something. But here it is spring and the pretty flowers are in bloom all around us!  Not having been up North for so long when I stop and look at the changing world before me I am amazed at the beauty which it beholds and when I see all the gifts that God gives to us I feel truly blessed. so ofen the little things are taken for granted or not even enjoyed because of the hustle and bustle of everyday life. so when you go outside look around and enjoy the beauty of the blessings that God has given to each of us!
